FALCONS, VANDALS FACE-OFF AGAIN

Zach Edwards | Argonaut

The Sound of Idaho marching band pumped up the crowd during tailgate before the football game against Bowling Green State University Thursday. The Vandals lost to the Falcons 32-15.

Two years later, Vandals lose Theo Lawson Argonaut

Maybe it was the glaring banner representing Idaho’s 2009 Humanitarian Bowl title or maybe it was the absence of the Vandals’ top two receivers.

Whatever led to Idaho’s 32-15 loss to Bowling Green Thursday night in the Kibbie Dome, it was anything but pretty.

The visiting Falcons got the revenge they were seeking and more, from their 43-42 loss in the 2009 Humanitarian Bowl. The disappointing season-opener raised countless questions from Vandal fans.

“Really disappointed in the way we played tonight,” coach Robb Akey said. “I meant everything I said about

this team in training camp going into tonight’s game, I really thought we had a great camp, I thought we had prepared really well for this game. The way we came out I thought we showed that.”

Idaho sped to a 7-0 lead following an inspired series of plays from Brian Reader and the Vandal offense. Mi-

chael LaGrone capped off the drive with Idaho’s first touchdown of the campaign, a fiveyard toss into the back of the end zone.

The Vandals weren’t able to contain quarterback Matt Schilz and the Falcon offense, who answered with a 76-yard touchdown pass, tying the score 7-7. Schilz SEE vandals, PAGE 6

Alternative tailgating on game day ASUI provides free food for students Lindsey Treffry Argonaut

Vandal receiver MIke Scott is tackled by defensive back Jerry Gates during the first drive of the game Thursday evening in the Kibbie Dome. The Vandals scored a touchdown on the drive, that proved to be the only Vandal touchdown of the first half.

Free hot dogs, chips and drinks were given to University of Idaho students Thursday in preparation for the vandal football game against Bowling Green State University.

The first 2,000 students at the tailgate received free hot dogs provided by ASUI, while the Student Alumni Relations Board gave out free Baskin-Robbins ice cream.

ASUI President Samantha Perez said the tailgate was

planned during the summer with Vice President Juan Corona and Nick Groff director of marketing for athletics. They were able to buy enough Vandal Meats hot dogs to feed 2,000 students. With the ASUI programming budget, Perez said Sodexo chefs donated their labor for the event.

This event was planned as an alternative, alcohol-free tailgate.

In an official statement on UI’s website, athletic director Rob Spear spoke about the university’s tailgating policy.

“This season, Moscow police patrols will have increased visibility in the vicinity of the Kibbie Dome on game days, and officers will enforce Idaho law pertaining to underage drinking,” Spear said.

According to the statement, minors possessing or consuming alcohol may be arrested and removed from campus. Any other person that poses a risk of harm to themselves or others may be asked to leave or be subject to arrest for trespassing.

Women’s Center reaches out to more than just women Molly Spencer Argonaut

The University of Idaho Women’s Center hosted their “Get the Scoop” ice cream social Tuesday to welcome students and showcase its services.

“Our goal is to provide support and encouragement and ways for them (women) to integrate into college life, in addition to all the other students we serve,” said Lysa Salsbury, Women’s Center News, 1

program coordinator.

Salsbury said she wanted to discourage the idea that the Women’s Center is for women only.

“I think a lot of students avoid coming here because they think it’s exclusive or they think that we won’t have programs and services that will interest them or are geared toward them, and that’s totally not true” Salsbury said. “I mean we have a ton of stuff going on that’s for everybody to attend.”

The focus of the Women’s Center, Salsbury said, is providing programs and services for under-represented groups, including LGBTQA students, non-traditional students and parents of students.

“Anyone who wants to know anything about women’s and gender issues or about the difficulties and challenges with those particular populations is welcome here regardless of whether or not they are a part of that population,” Salsbury said.

Heather Gasser, director of the Women’s Center, said the purpose of the open house was to let the entire campus community know about the office and its resources for students, staff and faculty.

“Our focus is on creating an inclusive and compassionate campus which involves making sure people know about what we do,” Gasser said.

“Get the Scoop” featured free root beer floats, but to receive a University of Idaho

spoon or a straw the students had to physically go into the Women’s Center office.

“We have a ton of different things going on this semester… we’re doing a film at the Kenworthy called “Miss Representation.”

The film is all about women in pop culture. It’s collaboration with the Journalism and Mass Media department and it’s free,” Gasser said.

Robert Caisley, head of the dramatic writing program, said audience members should stick around for the “talkback” session.

“The playwright needs to hear what works and what doesn’t work, so they can continue to revision process with fresh insight,” Caisley said.

The opportunity for the playwrights to see how a young script holds up in front of a live audience is one Caisley said he relishes for his students.

“The unique challenge, and also the unique thrill, of working on new plays is that they are not yet “road-tested,” Caisley said. “There is nothing quite like the experience of working on a new play to truly understand how theater functions.”

As his play gets its first taste of the stage this week, Hatch said he has been very pleased with UI students working on the cast and crew. Hatch said he encourages anyone, not just the “artsy-fartsy” to come out and see what he hopes will be a funny show.

“The Monroe Diaries” will be on stage at 7:30 p.m.

Saturday in the KIVA., “Beneath the Stairs” will show at 2 p.m., and audiences can catch “Peaceful Men” Friday night at 7:30 and at a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m.

Scavenger hunt, Study Abroad Fair supply information to students Michelle Gregg Argonaut

Students navigated mazes, answered cultural trivia questions, identified foreign food, and practiced basic language sayings at a study abroad scavenger hunt Wednesday.

The hunt, held in the Horizon and Aurora rooms of the Teaching and Learning Center, featured a series of activities centered around the University of Idaho’s study abroad programs. Pizza and drinks were available, along with a comfortable atmosphere to talk one on one with study abroad program providers.

“The scavenger hunt was a pre-event to the study abroad fair, which was held in the

TLC courtyard on Thursday, September 1,” Celine McClure, an enrollment specialist at the study abroad program, said. “The scavenger hunt provided more interaction with students versus a lecture, and allowed more exposure to different cultures.”

Study abroad program director Colton Oliphant said the general idea for this preevent was to set up activities for students and help them learn about various foreign exchange programs.

Different portions of the scavenger hunt included a subway maze, cultural trivia, food identification, bartering skills, packing tips, and basic language sayings, McClure said.

“In the past we had previous study

abroad students put together a slide show, and answered questions,” she said. “The different stations were a good, fun way to expose students to diverse cultures.”

Oliphant said the scavenger hunt and study abroad fair delivered the same information in different ways.

“Every year, we have the pre-event and the study abroad fair to accommodate students’ schedules, so people can hopefully attend at least one of the events,” Oliphant said. “Both events do an excellent job in promoting the information for students interested in studying abroad.”

“I chose India because I wanted to experience something different from America, to see how another world lives,” he said.

Kopiecki said he chose to go abroad with University Studies Abroad Consortium because USAC has been established as a national program for years and because it organizes trips in the country of study. Also, USAC connects you with other foreign students in your country, Kopiecki said.

“I think that through studying abroad, you can gain a lot of knowledge. It is a valuable experience for everyone, and I encourage students to try it,” Oliphant said.

Senate report Open Forum

Joe Black, ASUI presidential policy adviser, discussed the ASUI leadership tour meant to “connect ASUI to the students.”

Applications for ASUI lobbyists are available in the ASUI office beginning Friday. They are due at 5 p.m. Oct. 5.

The Legislative Breakfast will be held again this year, and anyone wanting to participate will need to apply.

This includes ASUI Senate members.

Black proposed creating student opinion polls.

“Some people think ASUI doesn’t take students seriously, and we would like to change that,” Black said.

Senators will be taking petitions to living groups next week that would reduce the required graduation credits from 128 to 120, eliminating elective credits. No changes will be made to core requirements. Black said this reduction is meant to help with student retention and“trim the fat.”

Black announced the Senate will be hosting a speaker regarding campus safety and domestic abuse. He also proposed the development of an online survey that will be sent out to students on campus safety, and re-issued at the end of the semester or year to evaluate campus safety programs.

Black said they are working on establishing a White House Student Government in Washington D.C.

Presidential Communications

President Samantha Perez is absent and Joe Black stepped in for her.

A moment of silence was held for Katy Benoit.

Black announced that a new administrative assistant had been hired.

Black announced Perez’s proposal for a Vandal Community Hour, an hour when no classes are scheduled so student meetings and other on-campus events can take place so students can attend without missing classes.

Bill F11-24, assigning senators to standing boards, is passed.

Bill F11-25, assigning senators to living groups, is passed.

Bill F11-26, assigning senators to standing committees, is passed.

“Why wouldn’t I (drink)?” Felker said. “I’m 21. But the food (ASUI provided) is good for underaged people.”

Bowling Green found holes in the Vandals’ run defense and extended their lead following back-to-back touchdowns from Jordan Hopgood and Anthon Samuel. Kicker Kyle Burkhardt added three with a 39-yard field goal with four minutes remaining in the first-half.

“It snowballed I guess you could say,” Akey said.

“I really felt at halftime that we had opportunities we were close to being able to click. I don’t know how many passes we dropped tonight but we had to set a record on that darn thing.”

“Take Back the Night,” an event focused on taking a stand on women’s safety issues, has been moved from the spring semester to Sept.

9, Gasser said.

“Specifically in light of recent events I think that will be an even more impactful event this year,” Gasser said. “It’s a protest march as well as an opportunity for folks who have been survivors of sexual violence to speak out.”

Gasser said she believes the biggest message from both the Women’s Center and the LBTQA office is to create a space on campus where people can be themselves.

“A place on campus

Students cheer on the Vandals during the first quarter of Thursday's game against Bowling Green. Vandals lost to the Falcons 32-15.

The relentless Falcons headed to the locker room at halftime with 377 yards of total offense, 248 of those coming from a phenomenal season debut for Schilz, who completed an astounding 80 percent of his passes.

Idaho, on the other hand, managed only 130 passing yards on 25 attempts. Reader’s late interception closed out the Vandals’ first-half

offensive efforts.

The Vandal defense came prepared for Schilz and the Falcon running game in the second half, holding the visitors scoreless in the third quarter. However, Bowling Green’s third quarter defense was just as successful, forcing a handful of incomplete passes from Idaho’s senior quarterback.

Benson Mayowa stepped up on numerous occasions and although a Reader –led drive earned Idaho another touchdown, the offense couldn’t put the pieces together late in the fourth quarter.

Injuries to Vandal receivers Preston Davis and Justin Veltung, two of the Western Athletic Conference’s top receivers, certainly didn’t help Idaho’s cause and

the defensive secondary could’ve used linebacker Rob Siavii’s leadership too.

Although the Vandals fell short in the seasonopener, their next game offers greater hope. Idaho plays North Dakota at home at 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 10.

When they met last year, the Vandals won 0-45, a much more successful first game than Thursday.

What do you look forward to this upcoming football season?

“Winning lots of games.”

Sean Kramer Argonaut

After a season that saw the Vandal soccer program reach unparalleled heights in its history, finishing third in the WAC, players and coaches were poised to repeat — if not improve on — it with all 11 starters returning.

Injuries have hampered the team’s continuity, with perhaps the biggest hit landing in front of the goal.

The Vandals’ senior goalkeeper Liz Boyden was injured in a match against Seattle University when she collided with a Redhawks player. The exact nature of her injury hasn’t been disclosed, but she is out of play indefinitely.

In her stead, freshman Marissa Fehrman stepped in, playing the remainder of the game against Seattle then starting on the road against Portland State.

“Marissa’s come in, proved herself,” coach Pete Showler said. “We bring goalkeepers in here who are capable of playing at this level and she’s no different…she’s settled in nicely.”

Showler said he wants to incite competition between Fehrman and Caroline Towles. Towles, a junior from Seattle, has yet to see game action, but provides upperclassmen leadership and experience from the last two seasons.

“We go through practice and it’s whoever proves themselves. I’ll listen to my goalkeeping staff and we’ll see who’s performing that week, same with every field player,” Showler said. “The pair of them, like all three were, to prove their position on the team, they’re both working their socks off.”

Volleyball adds walk-ons to roster Kevin Bingaman Argonaut

The Vandal volleyball team added four walk-ons to its roster in time to start the season.

Idaho coach Debbie Buchanan saw something she liked and decided that Christina Johnson, Meredith Coba, Maranda Andersson and Amy Westberg belonged at Idaho. Buchanan said it’s a tough road to be a walk-on,

and she admires those who do it.

“All of these kids chose to walk on, and I think that’s a pretty admirable thing,” Buchanan said. “ They love the game and they’re here to compete.”

Johnson is a defensive specialist from Sandpoint, who joined the Vandals last spring. At Sandpoint High School, she was the first two-letter varsity athlete in school history, lettering in vol-

leyball, basketball, softball and track. She also helped Sandpoint win two state championships.

Coba is a 5-foot-10-inch setter from Salem, Ore., and a three-time first-team all-conference selection at West Salem High School. Buchanan said she’s a great addition to the team and she’s looking forward to seeing her develop.

season. The team has yet to find the stability and chemistry it needs to replicate last season’s success. Having returned all eleven starters from last season, in which they finished third in the WAC, one would assume it would be a seamless transition into this season.

Instead they’ve had a different starting lineup in each match.

“Right now there’s no continuity to what we’re doing, that’s due to a few injuries,” Showler said. “But nothing that won’t be overcome, we’re settling in now and we’re starting to get to

that shape and balance that we want.”

Showler is still confident, pointing out that their record fails to tell the entire story.

“The wins are important but it’s the process of how we get there,” he said. “You can play fantastically well and still lose a game. You can play not your best game and still win a game. So I’m more looking at the process and how we play.”

Concern over the slow start might just be a sign of the new expectations that a successful season has created for the program, he said.

“The way the team plays

last year, it’s always going to be tough to replicate that,” Showler said. “We are focused on winning the WAC and getting to the NCAAs. We want to peak at the right time.”

Junior goalkeeper Caroline Towles echoed those sentiments.

“I think if we were to get a couple wins this weekend that would just reassure us that we are finding the pieces,” Towles said. “We’re able to put the pieces together now and use it more effectively for more games to come. That’s going to be our challenge this weekend.”

Basketball hosts walk-on tryouts Theo Lawson Argonaut

The Idaho men’s basketball team looks to finalize its 2011-2012 roster next week with walk-on tryouts Thursday, Sept. 8 at the Kibbie Dome.

Anyone interested must contact Assistant Coach Mike Freeman prior to Sept.

5 and attend a mandatory paperwork meeting the following day.

Walk-on tryouts are open to anyone on campus enrolled as a student and deemed eligible by the NCAA. Freeman, who arranged the tryouts, hopes to pick up at least one walk-on capable of competing at the Division I level. On rare occasions, walk-on players have had the opportunity to earn playing time but Freeman said the majority will act as practice players.

“We look for guys who we feel can compete with our guys at practice; 90 percent of the time a walk-on is a practice player for us to help make the team better,” Freeman said. “We have had walk-ons in the past that, in emergency situations, had to play but most of the time

Men’s tennis preparing for tough schedule Charles Crowley Argonaut

Men’s tennis coach Jeff Beaman knows you have to play against top teams to get good rankings, and this year he planned a schedule to do just that.

“The goal is to get a higher national ranking and get the automatic bid to the NCAAs. With the schedule we have, we’ve got a lot of opportunities to play topranked teams, and that’s how you get into the rankings,” Beaman said.

Last year, the Vandals highest ranking was No. 46

after beating BSU last year for the first time in 20 years, he wanted to keep the rivalry going even if they are in a different conference.

This schedule is jampacked with tough competition for the Vandals and Beaman feels good about the way the schedule turned out.

“We definitely have the toughest schedule we’ve ever had this year. If everything comes together with players staying healthy and the way we hope it is, we think this is the year we get a legitimate top-50 schedule,” Beaman said.

Coba said just being on a college roster is a dream come true.

“I’ve always dreamed about playing college volleyball and Idaho is the perfect fit,” Coba said. “I couldn’t be happier right now.”

Andersson is a 5-foot7-inch setter from The Woodlands, Texas. She played at Galveston College where she was a second-team all-conference selection and team captain.

Buchanan said Westberg has a lot of potential.

“She’s an athletic kid,” Buchanan said.

“She doesn’t shy away from the ball and I think she’s really going to develop into a great libero.”

It was a hard road to make the team, and they will still have to fight for playing time. Coba said she knows that people are in front of her, but said it’s a great opportunity to learn.

“Being a freshman setter behind two great junior setters is awesome,” Coba said. “I respect their play and everything they do, and work with them every day to hopefully be where they’re at soon.”

Buchanan said that these four are building blocks for the future. She said fans may not see them make an impact right away, but they will make a difference in the team’s future.

Red Sox beat Yankees 9-5 behind Beckett, 3 homers Howard Ulman AP Sports Writer

BOSTON (AP) – Josh Beckett found a way to beat the New York Yankees this season, over and over again.

The Red Sox right-hander pitched well enough for Boston to win 9-5 on Wednesday night, improving to 4-0 against the Yankees this season with a 1.85 ERA. Last season, his worst in the majors, he was 1-2 with a 10.04 ERA against his team’s longtime rivals.

“The Yankee-Red Sox thing has been here before I got here for a long time and it’ll be here long after I’m here,” Beckett said. “The big thing is we’re both really good teams and there’s a reason why you’ve got to play those games a little differently.”

Boston is 5-0 in his starts against New York, but he credited his slugging teammates for Wednesday’s win. Jacoby Ellsbury hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the sixth, making it 7-5. David Ortiz and Jason Varitek also had two-run shots.

“I might get the win next to my name,” said Beckett (12-5). “I’d say I contributed by eating up some innings, but the guys that probably stuck out all year, they stuck out again today.”

He said the difference from last year, when he was 6-6 with a 5.78 ERA, is his ability to execute pitches in key situations.

The Red Sox, who lost the series opener 5-2 on Tuesday night, extended their AL East lead over the Yankees to 1¬Ω games and improved their record to 11-3 this season against them.

“We can’t think about what happened up

until this point,” Derek Jeter said. “If we did, we might as well let them have the rest of the games.”

The Yankees had one big inning against Beckett, scoring four runs in the sixth — the same amount they managed in his previous 32 innings against them this season — and went ahead 5-4.

“I wouldn’t say we’ve figured him out,” Jeter said. “We were able to score those five runs. It wasn’t enough.”

In the bottom of the sixth, Phil Hughes (45) retired the first batter. Then he went ahead of Josh Reddick 0-2 before walking him, and Reddick scored the tying run on Varitek’s double. After Marco Scutaro flied out, lefthander Boone Logan came in to face lefty Ellsbury. On a 3-and-1 count, Ellsbury hit his 24th homer into the left-field seats above the Green Monster.

“I know (Ellsbury) has been tougher on right-handers,” Boston manager Terry Francona said, “but he’s no day at the beach for left-handers..”

Beckett allowed four earned runs and six hits through seven innings. He struck out eight and walked three.

Daniel Bard and Jonathan Papelbon each pitched a scoreless inning and the Red Sox improved to 62-3 this season when leading after six.

The Yankees had taken a 1-0 lead in the third on Jeter’s RBI single. The Red Sox went ahead 2-1 in the bottom of the inning, scoring on Dustin Pedroia’s groundout with runners at sec-

ond and third and on Jed Lowrie’s RBI single.

Jeter got his second single in the top of the fifth, moving into 20th place all-time, ahead of Craig Biggio, with 3,061 career hits. He was left stranded.

Boston made it 4-1 in the fifth on Ortiz’s homer deep into the center-field bleachers after Adrian Gonzalez singled. It was Ortiz’s 28th homer of the year and extended his hitting streak to 14 games.

The Yankees regained the lead in the sixth, helped by an error by right fielder Reddick.

Mark Teixeira was hit by a pitch leading off the inning, took second on a wild pitch by Beckett and scored on a double by Robinson Cano.

Nick Swisher then walked and Eric Chavez followed with a liner down the right field line. It got by Reddick and Chavez was credited with a double. The error allowed him to take third and Swisher to score. Eduardo Nunez’s sacrifice fly put the Yankees on top 5-4.

Varitek gave the Red Sox a four-run cushion in the eighth with his 10th homer.

But Ellsbury struck the big blow for Boston, against Logan.

“He threw me a couple of pretty good sliders I laid off of,” he said. “He threw me a pretty good pitch away. I was able to put a good swing on it.”

Besides the 24 homers, Ellsbury, in the last year of his contract, has 36 stolen bases, a .313 batting average, 97 runs and 84 RBIs as the leadoff hitter.

“That’s going to be a fun arbitration case, isn’t it?” Beckett said.

D-backs top Rockies 4-2 for ninth straight win Bob Baum AP Sports Writer

PHOENIX (AP) – August is over and the Arizona Diamondbacks, of all teams, have a six-game lead in the NL West.

Miguel Montero hit a three-run homer for the second straight game and the Diamondbacks the last-place team in the division the past two seasons won their ninth in a row by beating the Colorado Rockies 4-2 on Wednesday night.

“We’ve been playing good, man,” Montero said. “It doesn’t matter who we’re playing.”

Josh Collmenter (9-8) limited the Rockies to two runs in six innings as the Diamondbacks set a franchise record with 12 consecutive home wins. The ninegame overall streak is Arizona’s longest since a franchise-best 12 in a row from June 18-30, 2003.

“The energy level is really good right zona opens a three-game series in San Francisco on Friday night. now,” Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. “We play really “We’re ready,” Gibson said. “We don’t expect it to be good at home, really good.” easy.

“They are swinging the bats well and their pitchers are making their pitches,” Fowler said. “Put all that together, you got a good team. We had some opportunities and didn’t capitalize on them and came out on the bottom.”

The Rockies, swept for the fifth time this season, have lost five of six. Esmil Rogers (6-4) gave up four runs on seven hits in six innings to drop to 0-3 in his last four starts.

“Once again tonight we got eight hits, we scored two runs,” Colorado manager Jim Tracy said. “Last night we got 13 hits, we scored four runs. There were people out there to be knocked in we just couldn’t do it. They took one swing in the first inning as our starter was trying to settle in and it is the difference in the game.”

Football is a time for fun

Now that the first Idaho football game of 2011 is in the books, it’s a good time to remember what being a Vandal really means.

We are all lucky to be at a university where the focus is on both academic and athletic success, and when the two are combined students get the experience of watching and playing college football.

As Vandals, it is our job to

cheer on the team, just as it is their job to give everything they’ve got on the field. Standing, screaming and singing the fight song are duties every Vandal accepts as they walk through the doors of the Kibbie Dome.

It is important to remember though, that in order to perform your best in the Dome, you must be smart outside of it.

Football, or any sport for that matter, is a social event. This inevitably means that there will be alcohol and partying involved for some fans. This has become part of the game through the years and is completely acceptable — to a point.

The idea of tailgating and attending a game is to show your appreciation and support for

student-athletes. Your fellow students have worked hard both on and off the field to get to where they are today. And let’s be honest, we all deserve a break, too.

It doesn’t matter if it’s your first Vandal football game or 20th — athletics are meant to be fun and exciting. So let’s stay smart and cheer on our Vandals.

This is especially important since there is no additional test required in Idaho before obtaining a concealed weapons permit.

the Fourth Amendment.

We should not give up our rights because these bills are given names that make them difficult to oppose or for fear of being called unpatriotic.

And we should not give up our rights just because we are afraid.

I’m just confused.”

Lady Gaga isn’t the only celebrity with an alter ego. Eminem and Slim Shady, Beyonce and Sasha Fierce, Garth Brooks and Chris Gaines and Janet Jackson and Damita Jo are other famous celebrities and their alter egos. Eminem even calls himself all three of his names, Eminem, Slim Shady and Marshall, in his music, but audiences haven’t seen any of them jump on stage and completely change their gender.

Even though her performance was completely bizarre, Gaga deserves some credit. Calderone was a funny character on stage, and even made a few unsuccessful passes at Britney Spears.
